MK14 (even you've deleted all your posts
, which is not needed imo), just to say thanks, and you two are exactly like the sounds in my brain. ![Laughing :-DD](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/smiley_laughing.gif)
A disagreement, which (at least on my part, I think I was having a bad day, as well), was occurring. So, to avoid, even a possibility of distracting the moderators.
I removed myself from the thread (deleted all my posts), and it appears, the other chap (which wasn't Wraper), also removed the post(s), which started the situation.
In all fairness, I was at least partly (or more, opinion dependent), to blame.
Also, I'd MISUNDERSTOOD your opening post. I thought (from my too quick skimming of it), you meant overclocking, as in CPU overclocking. Which caused lots of the exchanges of posts, between myself and Wraper.
Which was my fault for not properly reading it in the first place.
tl;dr
My correction(s), because I had misunderstood the original post, seemed to annoy someone else, in the thread. Who (aggressively) complained about it. They wanted me to stop doing multiple posts, and just edit the original post(s).
So, for peace, quiet and no-moderator involvement, I decided to exit the thread.
Back on topic:
I'm NOT a fan of overclocking. Either the cpu, graphics cards or memory. In the same way, I'm not a fan of exceeding 1 amp, for a 1 amp rated transistor, whose datasheet says, recommended maximum 1 amp.
Especially, if the computer is for serious/important uses.
But, if the computer is only used for gaming, and the game save files are NOT vitally important to you. Then that can be a different situation.
Basically my opinion, is if the reason you bought the ECC ram, was for stability/data-integrity, then overclocking it is counter-productive.
E.g. Adding salt, to the reduced/zero salt, crisps you bought, for health reasons.
But, if you got the ECC ram, purely for an overclocking machine (e.g. gaming only), and the ECC is just being used as an aid, to help you successfully overclock the ram (and/or rest of the computer). Then, that is also a different matter.
